TAG WITH SENSORS AND STICKY TAPE FOR MEASURING THE DURATION OF THE IMMOBILE STATE OF THE FETUS DURING DIAGNOSTIC APNEA Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A61B5/11 A41C1/10 

FIELD: medical technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical diagnostic devices for individual use, in particular to devices that allow a pregnant woman to assess the resistance of the fetus to intrauterine hypoxia and to choose the type of delivery. A tag with sensors and sticky tape to assess the resistance of the fetus to hypoxia is equipped with a stopwatch switch at one edge of the tag, a platform for piercing with a pin and attaching to clothes at its other edge, five flat round sensors of the same size and sensitivity and a roll of centimeter tape. The lower surface of the tape is covered with a layer of glue that ensures unwinding of the roll and strong adhesion of the tape to the outer surface of tights worn by a pregnant woman. The upper surface of the tape is smooth and slippery, the pattern on it is made in the form of sequentially arranged segments of a centimeter tape with marks from 0 to 100 cm. The tape is wound on a spool and provides cutting of the selected segment and placing it on the abdomen from the right middle axillary line to the left middle axillary line perpendicular to them and above the navel, covering the sensors. The width of the tape exceeds by 4 mm the sum of the size of the sensor diameter and twice the size of its height. The electronic device is built into the tag and has the function of an electronic stopwatch, making it possible to automatically measure the duration of the immobile state of the fetus during diagnostic apnea and automatically transmit the measured value to a smartphone.

EFFECT: invention provides simplicity and ease of self-measurement by a pregnant woman of the duration of the period of immobility of her fetus during voluntary diagnostic apnea throughout the second half of pregnancy, registration of the data obtained on the smartphone, assessment of fetal resistance to intrauterine hypoxia, timely identification of the risk of low stability and the need for additional examination of a pregnant woman, as well as the choice of the optimal type of delivery regardless of visits to a medical institution, the participation of a specialist and the use of wired electricity in the exclusion of an allergic reaction, chemical burn, infection of a pregnant woman, termination of her pregnancy and fetal death.
